I understand that new torrents will be on the torrent pending list, but how come that I 've also seen an older torrent on the list? I mean ISWAK 1-6 was created months before this new rule. Just wondering

Confused me a little bit at first too, when I went to edit my comment and the torrent wasn't there.

Would it be possible to add me as well. I'm the only uploader currently for Ai no Apron which is pretty popular. I know that I'm only doing a single show, but I've been uploading on a weekly basis since Autark stopped in January.

just out of curiosity...whats the average that a person has to upload to be a trusted uploader? also...how long is the turnaround for pending torrents to being approved? an hour? a day?

just curious because i tend to post my torrents in the evening before i go to bed...and i worry that the torrent will be approved and posted after i've gone to sleep and won't have any of the info and stuff with it until i get up in the morning.

what prompted this change tho? duplicate postings? bad torrents? torrents that aren't what they said they were?

Probably whenever the mods or the admins have a chance to take a look at the torrent.

I think it's probably has to do with the fact that as D-Addicts community grows, the number of torrents on this tracker also grows as well. And to prevent some members from posting irrevelant torrents (and to make sure sure they continue to upload the entire series), the rules were thus changed.

This restricts new members from uploading one episode and then never uploading again.

Or so...at least that's my view on this change.

what would an irrelevant torrent be?

that kinda reminds me, i had been meaning to ask a mod if commercials for dramas are ok to upload...i think i checked the faqs once and didn't see anything about it but i wanted to make sure...would cms be irrelevant? or do you mean like...interviews with actors about the dramas? i enjoy collecting and watching those as well, but i can understand how they aren't everyones cup of tea...

We don't call them commercials. We call them promotional videos, or PV for short. PVs are used to promote a drama. With that, PVs are allowed as long as it is related to dramas.

I have a Q about OSTs ... Some dramas dun have an OST but the ending credits point to a group/musician for the music used in the drama. And that music (some of it, at least) are released in the musician's album. So ... would it be ok to upload that CD here under the OST category? But nowhere in the CD made references to the drama of course... so... can I still upload and share?

From what I've seen in the past, the CD is not the issue. Rather, it is the track that makes reference to a TV drama. Therefore, you should only upload the track and not the entire CD. If you want to upload the entire CD, I would suggest using another tracker like JPOPSuki if it is a Japanese CD.

There's a slight problem though... after listening to all tracks, i couldnt make out which are the ones used in the drama, apart from the more obvious ones. Cos some of the tracks are played unobtrusively in the background (despite it being electronica-hip-hop kind of music). But anyhow, thanks for the advice! I'll think about it more

Just a question, i uploaded Redbean bread the other day and was on the pending list for a few days. Then today, after editing a comment, my upload was gone from the pending list and disappeared from this site completely. I checked the licenced dramas list and it wasn't on it. Just wondering if it was disapproved. I was hoping to share it because of the thread I found and I'm working on ep 19 already.

kimigirl: we currently have the redbean bread series on our tracker. if yours is SIGNIFICANTLY different to the current one on the tracker, you should state that in the torrent comments. some of our mods go through the various pending torrents and if they see something that is already on the tracker, they may delete it if you don't say why it's different.

oh then i have been uploading couple of drama episodes 5 uploads or more!

i like the torrents pending section too because it forces people to put info about the file. i hate it when something shows up and its like "what is that?"

i've seen several files that slip thru the cracks tho because of inaccurate torrent info. some of them get caught eventually (such as musicals that are only on dvd) and some never seem to get touched (such as non-tv/non-drama related jpop concert dvd extras that were never aired on tv ever). how often to reported torrents get checked?

*the torrent* not torrents... the latter torrent was left on tracker since it already had 1000+ dlers and other smap stuff is regularly uploaded even if it's off tv...
and no, the rules to upload content have not been changed, everything's as it was before...

I've also been removed from the uploader group. When I uploaded a new DoReMii release a little while ago I found my torrent in the pending section. Where as a previous one I had was not. I would like to know why I was removed. Being the leader of DoReMii and an uploader it is pretty inconvenient for us.

Um... had a little snafu with the uploaders group and everybody was deleted... Most ppl have been added back in, but I may have missed a few.
If you used to have uploader status but are having problems now, please post here.... ^_^;

Hello, can I please be added back into Uploaders? I thought I was in it before, as I haven't had a problem uploading before, and I had that upload addict tag underneath my avatar. Anyway, I am finally trying to complete my upload of Tengoku no Kiss (I am on ep 9 of 10...), and I have a couple more dramas I am finally able to upload once that is done
